Oh, but I can. In fact, pasting from clipboard now works just
fine. Pasting from primary selection works one time out of two (the
other time, I get "x-get-selection: Timed out waiting for reply from
selection owner"). Most of the time, I am using the clipboard.

x-select-enable-primary is t
x-select-enable-clipboard is t
save-interprogram-paste-before-kill is t
